US foreign policy
Hi, i was reading some articles, and found this
McCains Position from the current most important american republican politician, about Crimea, Ukraine and US foreign policy. IMO his words were mostly BS. Most of times he spoke about Russia`s posture like he exaclty knew what Putins will and would do - and he makes it clear that Russia should be treated as an enemy, because "Putin thinks Russia is on a competitions with US". The rebuplican leader also said absurdes like "Putin will try to conquer territories back, until he rebuilds Soviet Union". Im far from a connoisseur about international policy subjects, but personally i found this an absurde and it looks for me that republicans politicians posture is to rule in a 'hidden' imperialism, interfering in any subject that can generate power-earning in the world. I just would like to ask if any of u guys agrees with me, and what is your opinion about US foreign policy? |

Regarding the western policy (US + EU) towards Ukraine and Crimea I very much agree with the views the German politician Gregor Gysi (leader of the Left party) expressed in a speech recently in the German Bundestag.
RT article about that speech: http://rt.com/news/merkel-ukraine-answer-sanctions-658/ the translation of his speech as text: http://pastebin.com/0h2ybPvN video of his speech (in German): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezEjykTJjVk To get a more complete picture about Crimea and the fascistic coup in the Ukraine I can highly recommend not to only read in Western MSM, but also Russian sources like RT. There is much propaganda or important news left out on both sides; but overall I have the impression that info from RT is overall more objective and complete than any western MSM. If you read only in western-conform MSM about Crimea and the happenings in Ukraine, you will miss important facts which could harm the agenda of the NATO, US and EU. another thread which is partly about US foreign policy, Syria, Lybia, media propaganda etc.: http://www.championsofregnum.com/for...ad.php?t=99965

East? ... West? ... Conservative? ... Liberal? ... Russia? ... America? ... Right wing? ... Left wing? ... Same flipping bird!!! ..i., The various imperialists of the modern world, whether they use economic power or military power or both, are all still imperialists & while almost all hide behind a thin veil of democracy to appear legitimate, they are nothing more than fascist punks & thugs, just like that insect Hitler was back in his day. They quell all dissent to their unjust rule thru political & judicial oppression, thru character-assassinations or real assassinations, thru the manufacture-of-public-consent by controlling almost all of the media (the 'information-window' thru which most people see, hear & 'understand' our world) & by blanketing all of us in a deceptive blitz of naked & perpetual propaganda: disinformation, misinformation, distortions, distractions, partial truths & outright lies.
The only real difference between the power players of east & west in these matters atm? Just one step. In the west, the real powers controlling society mostly aren't in office & from a 'safe' anonymous distance they use money & power politics like the Koch Brothers, other multi-billionaires & the biggest trans-international corporations have done, to elect only those who think & act as these powers want them to, pulling the strings of those who get into office like puppets to obtain their selfish desires. In the east tho, the true powers are often far more obvious & blatant; they rule right out in the open & from various government positions, as Putin has done (even while 'only' prime minister during the last administration), not from the shadows as is most often the case in the west. Realistically, they're all the same & it's all a competition between psychotic side-A & psychotic side-B (with many, many more smaller sides all inside of A & B). Unforgivably, both sides are egotistically dictatorial, both are fully corrupt, both are exclusively plutocratic & both are a selfish, shameless, lying bunch of complete hypocrites. Meanwhile, we here in the middle, the reasonable (but mostly deceived) citizens of this planet, face the unrest & eventual turmoil & wars these various power-mad autocrats & oligarchs would foist off on us. Though the media will undoubtedly present it all differently ofc, this will all be over power & control that they demand us to fight in their struggle: not over Russia's Crimean absorption/autonomy policy (that's a sideshow), but over Iran's looming nuclear ambitions, & above all else, over the oil-for-dollars-only economic regime that has firmly been in place & enforced since the Nixon administration. Libya's al-Gaddafi sought to change this entrenched status-quo & to create a gold(dinar)-for-oil system to surplant this, & his intentions quickly got him ousted & killed. Why? All world currencies are now fiat currencies; nothing is backing them in value (not gold, silver, etc ... only perception ... & it's all nothing but paper). All currencies are tied to, measured against & supported in value by the dollar's value. The dollar is also a fiat currency, but currently unlike all others due to it's exclusive link to oil. However, without the value-of-oil directly tied to those dollars that one must obtain in order to buy that oil, the dollar's value basically collapses & with it, other currencies & the world economy also & along with that, certain big power players' control over it all as well. Iran now seeks an oil-for-gold trade system as Libya did before. Russia & China are currently backing Iran's play, but quietly & patiently. The current system empowers those who have the most dollars & who control it's value & others' access to those dollars (World Bank, International Monetary Fund, Federal Reserve Board, Bank of London, other central banks, big trans-financials, other big business, etc). These & other powers in the west will never allow this 'play' of Iran's to happen ... or anyone else to do likewise ... not now ... not ever ... even if it means a war with Iran, even if that war becomes WW3, even if it kills most of humanity off (which 'ironically' certain moneyed-elites wouldn't mind at all, because the way they see it, we, "the useless eaters", are consuming all of 'their' resources way too quickly). These jerks built an entirely unsustainable society like a house-of-cards all to be their personal cookie-jar & as they ever reach inside for more-&-More-&-MORE, what will be is inevitable .... it all comes tumbling down around them ofc, but upon us all. When? It'll all start (in the coming months or more likely, years) immediately after the world bond markets begin collapsing & the ensuing economic/political havoc .... & this nightmare won't end until many armies surround Jerusalem ... then, a surprise power player very few gave any thought to at all will suddenly enter the fray & make much-needed grand & sweeping moves that completely overwhelm & change everything, forever.... ?
